a-yohimbine and its derivatives as antipsychotic agents and process of their preparation |
SK Srivastava, |
India/281936/29.3.2017 |
The present invention relates to the development of a virtual screening model for predicting antipsychotic activity using quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR), molecular docking, oral bioavailability, ADME and Toxicity studies. QSAR model showed activity-descriptors relationship correlating measure (r2) 0.87 (87%) and predictive accuracy of 81% (rCV2=0.81). The present invention specifically showed strong binding affinity of the untested (unknown) novel compounds against anti-psychotic targets viz., Dopamine D2 and Serotonin (5HT2A) receptors through molecular docking approach. The present invention further showed compliance of Lipinski's rule of five for oral bioavailability and toxicity risk assessment for all the active Yohimbine derivatives |
8 | Novel antipsychotic activity in the leaf extracts of Rauwolfia tetraphylla and their useful herbal formulations |
SK Srivastava, |
Australia/2010231489/8.1.2015
US/9018226/28.4.2015 |
The invention relates to novel antipsychotic activity in the leaf extracts of Rauwolfia tetraphylla and their useful herbal formulations for the treatment of psychosis based on in-vivo validation on animal model and proportional binding affinities for dopaminergic-D2, Cholinergic (muscarinic) and serotonergic (5HT2A) receptors for antipsychotic activity. The invention also provides a process for obtaining antipsychotic extracts from the leaves of Rauwolfia tetraphylla, which are non-toxic and devoid of extra pyramidal side effects. |
